is something of a give-away in being an
indication of the company's intention to

In the detection of six of the conspirators
and of the principal, Ii. q. Jillson, a dis
charged gripman. About four weeks ago the
company discovered that the bell punches
had been tampered with and an investigation
has revealed the fact that Jilison had solved
the combination which unlocked the register
dial OF punches. enabling each conductor in
the ring to rob the company of from IS to $40
day. The punch is different from the one
used on horse cars, the register dial being
completely enclosed in steel and locked In q
manner something similar to a safe comblna-
ton. The dial has two hands, one indicat-
ing every fare punched up to sixty, the other
each sixty fares received. JillsOn would not
reveal the combination, but would open the
dial case for the conductors, who visited in q
room lie had hired, and manipulate the hands
to show whatever number of fares received
he chose. Six conductors were arrested to-
night, but will be released without prOsecu-
ton. JilIson, who formed the conspiracy,
left tho city yesterday, but the detectives
have him located end he will be brought to

The Dry-Style Silage.

The unsettled condition of the silage
question finds illustration anew in an
experience reported from Iowa to the
Country Gentleman by farmer who,
having made five annual tests of the
system of close packing and {" lost ten
to twenty-five per cent every year with
mould or rot" finally last fall took
radical new departure, which, with its
agreeable outcome, he describes as fol-
lows; " | cut my corn in the dough
state, shocked it and let it stand till quite
dry and ready to husk. l then hauled
it to the barn, ran it through the cut
ter and cut it half an inch long. 1t
seemed to heat as much as green fod-
der. | did not tramp it much, only
keeping it level; neither did | cover il
orput any weight upon it. The result was

on top of this then dry fodder, for such
it was; the heat had all gone out of it
and the whole mass was cool and sweet
smelling. About a week after was ex-
aiming the fodder and to my surprise
| found the forkful of hay that had
fallen in was moist, smelling rotten,
and when l removed it the fodder under
the hay was wet and rotten, while
all the fodder not covered with
hay was good, and remained so till fed
out during the winter l shall follow
up the same course this year in putting
up dry silage. 1t is easier to han die
and sure to be sweet and good, and /
see no need OF an expensive silo, as was
formerly advised" Professor f. w.
Stewart, commenting on the above
new STYLE" speaks of dry silage as
" a novelty if not a misnomer," and
offers this in the way of explanation.
Corn dried in the shock till in proper
condition for husking would still con-
tain at least twenty-five per cent of
water, and if run through cutter into
silo would heat for time; but this
would soon pass off, if uncovered, in
very thin vapor, which, not being OBJ
structed, would be absorbed by the air
above. But the forkful of hay fall
ing on this heated mass, being cool,
would absorb this thin, heated vapor,
cool and condense it into water and thus
produce the decay of the hay and the
ensilage near it, Twenty-Five or thirty
per cent of water in corn will produce
higher degree of heat in the mass
for short time than eighty to eighty
five per cent of water. Corn green and
succulent may be covered and weighted
so as to smother the heat, but if S. had
covered his large part of it would
have literally been consumed with
heat" Professor Stewart thinks, how
ever, that the Iowa farmer made mis-
take in not hashing the corn sufficiently.
1t should, he declares, on the basis of
personal experiment, have been cut in
pieces only quarter of an inch long

Swindling with Seeds.

In recent number of the Rural NelC
Yorker we are told that some eight of
our most generously doomed varieties
of oats are one and the same, and
very ordinary white oat at that. have
of these sorts-namely, Welcome,n
"Racehorse' and "Clydesdale grown
in adjacent plots this season upon the
college farm. He would be a keen man
indeed who could distinguish single
important difference in them In gen
eral habit, in color and form of leaf,
straw and grain, as well as in time of
Towering and ripening, they are unit.
But the funny thing in all this is the
way the seed catalogues speak of this
much-named sort. Thus one before
me speaks of the Wide Awake " as
" wonderful variety introduced this
season for the first time" and Offering
seed obtained from the " originators. ="
Evidently scotsman and " originator
are wide awake to the main chance.
Another calls the " Racehorse"
d" foreign oat," and on the same page
figures the " White Belgian "-identi-
cal with the " Racehorse " in our ex-
pCllCutC -,iCoCi lDluS IL dS an Olil anu
well-established sort. In other numer-
Gus and varied ways the crying need of
reform in the seed business is strikingly
shown. What, for instance, shall we
say of the intelligence-to say nothing
of the honesty-of the dealer who, in
gorgeously-printed catalogue, tells read
ers that alfalfa or lucerne is one of the
recent novelties?" Or of that other
dealer who advised his patrons to SOW
of alfalfa seed eight to ten pounds per
acre, when all experience shows that
at least double that quantity should
be used? In yet another of these
promoters of agricultural obfuscation
we are told that Johnson grass sor-
ghum-halapen ga hardy peren-
NAL recently introduced from the
South, but of great value in the North"
Had this writer said that so far South
as central Kansas Johnson grass kills
out completely nine winters out of ten,
that it is the last cultivated grass to APP
pear in the spring, while the first frost
cuts it to level with the ground, and
that in consequence it is almost totally
worthless in the North, he would have
stated only the truth. 1t must be said
to the credit of the great political seed
shop at Washington that of late years at
least it has been somewhat chary of
advice and commentator about the
" treasures it dispenses. Professor

A Good Showing for an Old Friend.

Professor Sanborn of the Missouri
Agricultural College farm, in a report
lately received, shows something of
what he has accomplished in Missouri
since he left New Hampshire. Those
of us who knew him well will not be
surprised at the showing. He says, in
speaking of his methods on rotation of
crops: |" The course of farming then
entered upon had value, to farmers
of moderate means as well as to others,
unusual to public farm for economic
tests, in that this farm was without
good tools, was insufficiently stocked;
its fields and pastures were in bad
condition for farming-stumps bushes,
poor fences Astounding in fields and
pastures-and it had no capital nor the
power to borrow capital. Thus about
the hardest conditions possible were to
be overcome for success. One other
drawback was possible-an era of low
and falling prices. Agriculture has
seldom had worse period. The farm
has received no money for four years;
has expended from its own revenue
for the public in round numbers 50 900
for experiment work, and more than
this for improvements, and has doubled
its crop capacity. Its wheat this year
was ia bushels from seventeen acres,
or forty-ive and one-half bushels per
acre. Its hay is about or quite three
tons per acre, while at this date its I'M
harvested crops are heavy" These
are excellent results, and much re-
semble those he accomplished at Han
over, where he found things in a similar
condition.

show besides; and if the father was in
need of it they would say, Why, just
take it and welcome, we can earn as
much more," and rejoiced in their in
dependence. There is money in farm
ing now. The trouble is not with the
income, but the outgoeS. Those who
go West into new towns live very much
more like what l have described, and
when people will be content TO live
within their means-good, useful, hon
est, God-fearing lives-they will again
be comfortable and happy even in New
England.
REMARKS BY AGRICULTURAL Ed
tToR.-" Vermont Woman has given
us valuable paper, filled with truths,
portions of which will no doubt be I'M
palatable to some. But what she says
of the outgoes is true. While it is true
that the mothers spun and wove, the
changed conditions and increased facil-
tiles for manufacturing and transporta-
ton have banished those arts never
more to return. But the pickles, dried
apple, butter, cheese, ETC., are still in
demand, and at fair prices, when the
prices of flour, sugar, boots, shoes,
clothing, ETC., are considered. AS for
labor, there has never been a time in
our remembrance when the purchasing
power of the laboring man was as
great as now. Neither has there been a
time when the expenses of families
were as great in the line of so-called
luXuries and when there were in farm
ers' families so many fine things. The
" old man has silver-plated harness
and covered carriage or nice buggy, the
girl an organ or piano, and all the
female portion of the family finer
dresses and more of them than their
grandmothers, wives of rich men, ever
thought of having. Such things are
fine and have a refining influences; but
they cost money, and more than the
income of the family will warrant, and
they don't tend to induce industry.
The girls don't banker for " house,
work" They can teach or work in
a shop. The boys want to go into
store or bank or take up profession.
We may as well look these facts in the
face, and the sooner we appreciate
them and order our living after them
the sooner we shall realize a material
prosperity
The above correspondent, in a pri-
vate note to the editor, says: What l
have written has been done amid the
hurry of sewing and company. l want
to say a good deal more, or wish some
body else would take it up who can say

and not the income so much, that keeps
farmers in debt. There is tendency
now for wealth to accumulate in the
hands of few, and the sooner the rest
are willing to be the rest and leave
off trying to initiate them in expensive
living, the better. But am telling you
nothing new" If other able women

c. NJ. WILSON, secretary of the
Ayrshire Breeders Association, in a
letter to the Orange County Farmer,
utters the following wholesome truth:
" Whoever engages in the breeding of
blooded stock should remember that
the welfare and reputation of that
breed of stock is placed in his hands,
and that while he may personally be
willing to clean out his poor stock to
spectators he is really putting but
little money in his own pocket and is
doing lasting injury to his fellow
breeders.

SAYS the National Lire Stock Jour
nal: " Bran is well known to breeders

junction with a small allowance of hay,
if they are required to make time upon
the road, or pull heavy loads, so moth
ing eXcels the offal of wheat, with a
sprinkling of corn-meal and oil-cake
